Statement of Policy
My goal is to provide you with a thorough
and accurate account of how the accident
happened. I will make every effort to
find the evidence that will support
your case. I realize that when you hire me,
you are primarily interested in the
results that best support you and/or your
client’s version. However, if the
evidence does not support this view,
I will rely on the evidence for
my conclusion. It is my
practice to provide you
with all the information
that supports your case,
as well as any that
may be detrimental.
